    Absentee voters in France scramble to make their voices heard in high-stakes legislative election

    Voters who don't expect to be able to cast ballots themselves are scrambling to make their voices heard in France's high-stakes legislative election by signing up in their hundreds of thousands to hand their voting rights to loved ones and friends. The Interior Ministry said Tuesday that it counted 410,000 such requests in the first week after President Emmanuel Macron's announcement on June 9 that he was dissolving France's National Assembly, parliament's lower house. The ministry said the number is 6½ times more than it registered for the same weeklong period in the last legislative election in 2022.

    EU will help finance Poland's border security, says Tusk

    The leaders of European Union countries agree that the bloc should help finance security measures on Poland's border with Belarus, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday. Tusk said that European leaders he had spoken to at an informal summit in Brussels had agreed that protecting the EU's eastern border was a common task and that this also applied to financing. "Today I can assure you - Europe is going to pay for our security, because our security on the border is Europe's security," he said.
